Sounds good, more inline with add/drop constraint.

Just curious, why is that ?

Do we have a plan on what to do with RI constraints on the parent
when doing DROP INHERTITS ?
Seems all FK tables would need to be checked for keys in the local
table.
(Not sure whether we have PK on tab*, but it seems you could do it when
the
partitioning column is part of the PK)

I think this is out of scope of this discussion, as we do not currently
support RI over inherited tables. IOW RI is always on one table ONLY.
